The clock is ticking down to the end of our time with the puppies. Squirt is the first one to leave tomorrow afternoon. Will Eve get sad? Yes, she will notice them missing. Even though she is not with them all the time now, we know she wants to check on her babies when she stands by the door to go to the garage. She still produces milk and lets them nurse.
Do we get sad when they leave?
Yes, we might shed a few tears (especially our girls). It has been an intense 2 months when we have poured our hearts and time into raising these boxer puppies. Such a large litter demanded extra effort to make sure they were all growing properly. We love them to death, even after they leave.
And no. It's a whole lot of poop.

Food: we always suggest moistening the puppy food to prevent choking. Simply add very hot tap water to the food, and let it sit for a few minutes to moisten. This is more food than you will make at home (this is going to feed 5). Your puppy will probably eat between 1/2 to 3/4 cup puppy food at a sitting. They are eating twice a day (morning and evening). The bubbles you see is from the water releasing the gas in the food.
Less gas in boxers is always a good thing :) |

This is after about 5 minutes. The food is moist, is
still a little firm to the touch, and the water has all been absorbed.
As they grow older, you will not need to add as much water. But they will always prefer it with a little water. |
